Match Discussion: Round 2 vs Warriors @ Central Coast Stadium

Damn that was soft

 

[Zoidberg]

Shit

 

[slotmachine]

Didn't like that kick for touch at the time. Like it less now

 

[Jono078]

This will be no try I think. Ball came loose into our player.

 

[Zoidberg]

Lucky. Gotta take this good luck and keep them out.

I know it's still early days but I'm not exactly sure what Crossland brings to the table at present, doesn't really show much of a kicking game, haven't seen much running game, looks overmatched in defence and given away a few penalties to boot

 

[Tom155]

Phoenix having a rough start as well

 

[perverse]

I know I have advantage of hindsight. But yeah I thought it was a momentum killer.

I mean, you've got a scrum on their 10 metre line at that point. That's not a bad position to be in, but i get what you mean. The flop afterwards was the real killer.

 

[Jono078]

Ugh. Too easy that.

 

[Alex28]

If Tex and Phoenix are going to offer nothing in attack, they have to get better in defence.

 

[slotmachine]

That was a bit easy

 

[Frederick]

Mann > crossland

I don't see an ounce of class in either him or Hoy. The sooner they're out of the team the better imo. They are super bland. Offer absolutely nothing.

 

[PhilGould]

There's a time and place to kick into touch for a reset. When you're 20m out running at a retreating defence isn't one of them. Dumb.

Road-cone —> Crossland

I agree, but the team was losing its head for about 3 tackles before that.

Both still young hopefully they can develop with more experience

not holding my breath though

 

[Jono078]

A try before half time could break the warriors.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

First thing Hoy does and we ruin it.

Yeah, not holding mine either lol. Tex just showed a bit of running there. Not enough in 2021 NRL, not as a fullback anyway.

I'm not too worried tbh. Neither of them are our long term first picks anyway. There's 2 options in front of Hoy and at least 1 in front of Crossland.
